B.2. Ch.4.
7. Privation of the liberty of carrying on exercising Public
offices of honour or trusts.
8. Privation of all accidental opportunities of
advancing his fortune, obtaining Patrons;
forming friendships, improving his fortune, obtaining
a situation or forming matrimonial alliances
for himself or children.
Although these evils may in the
first instance be purely negative that is to say
privation of pleasures, it is evident that they
bring – in their train of consequences – positive
evils: such as the weaking impairing of the
health and the impoverishment of the circumstances.
II. Evils Accessory Evils commonly attendant
of on the Condition of a Prisoner
1. Confinement to disagreeable diet. – The want
of sufficient food for the purpose of punishment
this is a distinct mischief which will come under
another head.
2. Want of comfortable accommodations for
repose. – Hard Bedding or Straw, or nothing but
the bare ground. This hardship alone has been
thought to have been productive in some instances
of Disease and even Death.
3. Want of light. By the exclusion of the natural
Light of the Sun by day, and the not furnishing
or not permitting the introduction of any artificial
means of producing it by night.
4. Total Exclusion from Society. This evil is carried
to the height when a prisoner is not permitted
to see his friends, his parents, his wife or his
children.
